Do stents help or not? - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

Are stents good or bad? It depends. One thing you should know is that stents don’t work for all cases. They don’t prevent heart attack (said the COURAGE trial). They don’t cure angina (said the ORBITA trial). The only plausible use for stenting is for treating a heart attack.
